What do you think of the signing? How do you feel about the group of position players the Tigers have assembled for 2014?

The Tigers are obviously going to be a better defensive team and will have more speed on the basepaths than they did in 2013. Davis, who had more than 40 steals in four of the past five seasons, stole 45 bases in 51 attempts in 2013 despite being a part-time player for the Toronto Blue Jays. (The Tigers had 35 steals in 55 attempts as a team last season.)

Davis has a tepid .316 on-base percentage for his career, but his career numbers say he should be effective as a platoon player in left field with Andy Dirks as well as a pinch runner. Against left-handed pitchers, Davis is a career .294 hitter with a .354 on-base percentage and a .779 OPS.

Now that Davis is in the fold, are the Tigers through with moves involving position players? They very well could be.

Here are the holdovers from last year's Opening Day roster:

Miguel Cabrera, 1B (moves to 1B from 3B)

Victor Martinez, DH

Austin Jackson, CF

Torii Hunter, RF

Andy Dirks, LF

Alex Avila, C

Don Kelly, utility

That does not include one player who finished the 2013 season on the roster for the Tigers:

Jose Iglesias (full-time replacement for Jhonny Peralta)

As for the newcomers:

Rajai Davis, LF (replaces Matt Tuiasosopo)

Ian Kinsler, 2B (replaces Omar Infante)

Nick Castellanos, 3B (replaces Prince Fielder)

Bryan Holaday, C (replaces Brayan Pena)

Steve Lombardozzi, IF (replaces Ramon Santiago)

The Tigers are faster. They should be better defensively at every position on the infield. But they have lost the offense provided by Fielder, Peralta and Infante and replaced it with Castellanos, Iglesias and Kinsler.

Davis will almost certainly have more of an impact than Tuiasosopo, while the impact that Holaday and Lombardozzi have versus Pena and Santiago is up for debate.
